Feasibility and Techno-Economic Evaluation of Hybrid Photovoltaic System: A Rural Healthcare Center in Bangladesh

This study aimed to investigate a techno-economic evaluation of the photovoltaic system, along with diesel generator as backup supply, ensure continuous twenty-four hours power supply per day, no matter status weather. Healthcare centers in Bangladesh play vital role health issues residents rural areas. In this regard, healthcare center Baliadangi—Lahiri Hat Rd, Baliadangi, Thakurgaon, Bangladesh, was selected be electrically empowered. The simulation software Hybrid Optimisation Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER) and HOMER Powering Health tool were used analyze optimize renewable energy required by center. It found that 24.3 kW solar PV system net current cost $28,705.2; levelized electricity (LCOE) $0.02728 kW-hours, where would provide 98% system’s total requirements. 1% grid remaining 1%. load analysis revealed hybrid might superior other sources providing both normal function emergencies arise healthcare’s day-to-day life. outcome is expected beneficial government stakeholders decision-making.
